Twelve-year-old Edward Adler is the soul survivor of a plane crash. His brother, parents and 183 passengers perished in a plane crash from Newark to Los Angels. Edward's story is told in past and present day but essentially deals with the aftermath of the plane crash.
After a lengthily stay in the hospital, Edward goes to live with his Aunt and Uncle. He has to readjust to life, being a soul survivor and navigate around his injuries. Edward quickly bonds with and develops and intense and heart warming friendship with his neighbor Shay. She helps him heal and find solace in his life. She helps him adjust to major changes in his life such as attending a public school (he was home schooled before) and to come to terms with and find a level of peace association with being the sole survivor. This is incredibly pivotal as it helps him deal with an unexpected discovery.
Napolitano writes an incredibly moving story and the way she captures the moments on the doomed flight put's you in the plane seat. The background stories on various passengers adds to the story
